Warren, M. D. phyfician to his

He died of fpafms in his ftomach, 
very unexpeétedly, at a moment 
when Sir George Baker-and Dr. . 
Pitcairn were moft fanguine in their 
hopes of his recovery, and when, 
the anfwers to enquiring friends 
were moft favourable. His com- 
plaint had been a violent eryfipelas,, 
or St. Anthony’s fire in his head, , 
The public in general, 2s well as a 
numerous family, will fuftain an 
irreparable lofs in the death of this 
able and acute phyfician, who had, 
been many years at the head of 
the beft praGtice in the metropo- 
lis, — He was. the fon of a digni-, 
fied clergyman ,at Cambridge, . 
and, brought up to the church; 
and was engaged as tutor to the 
only fon of the late Dr. Peter, 
Shaw, an eminent phyfician. The 
young Shaw fhewing no turn for. 
ipftruction, or regard for learning, 
his father taught the profeffion to 
his fon’s preceptor, and gave him 
alfo his only daughter and: his for- 
tune; and he immediately fucceeded 
to his bufinefs. He is faid to have 
received in the courfe of one day, 
fees to the amount of. ninety-nine 
guineas; and to have died worth 
upwards of 150,000]; and that he

Regency. The following, we un- 
derftand, are the principal among 
the bequefts of his will: To his

verfion of the houfes and eftate»

each of his other feven fons 60001. - 
affigning as a reafon for leaving 
them no more, that he had given 
each of them a profeffion, and ad- 
vanced themi, in his life-time, as* 
far, in their refpective profeflions,’ 
as he could. His widow is his 
refiduary legatee. As phyfician

te his fame than all the preceding 
ones. * Obfervations on the Ro-
